Believe me -- I'm going to be pushing for this. I will be sure to keep everyone up-to-date on any cool possibilities.

thank god. i'm starved for conversation on this band.

By the way, thanks for telling me to go listen to Ryan Adams' Gold the other day. I actually bought it on vinyl yesterday, and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite albums. Good shit, dude.

after a dozen listens, i'm still not super impressed...neither song released has caught me like the first couple tracks off of 59S...still hopeful though. i do love his vocals...they sound great.

glad i could help you find something you like. 90% sure you've heard of wilco's "yankee hotel foxtrot," but if you haven't, please check that out. you'll love it as well.

you got access to a stream? or are you just talking about "bring it on"?

[Matt Chylak]

I. LOVE. THE BACKSEAT.
it's their best song, easily.

You guys will know when I hear the entire album haha. I'll make a big thing about it. Probably have an orgasm on the forum. It will get weird, but be informative.

one thing i've always noticed about gaslight is the louder you listen to their music, the better it gets. like scientifically, the guitars just start crunching better at a certain decibel level.

fallon's lyrical persona is getting a little cliched to me. it's the same references over and over

agreed. does anyone in here think gaslight might be a LITTLE overrated? don't get me wrong, i absolutely love most of 59S, but it's mostly because they're fun rock songs with lyrical references that i find interesting/different from most of what i listen to. it's not as groundbreaking of a record as everyone makes it out to be

They don't do anything more than write solid nostalgia-fueled driving anthems (I guess they have an appropriate band name). It just so happens that they do this well, and this is enough for me.

now all we need is for someone like tate to argue with us (if he even feels that way)

remember the pre-daisy question/answer sessions? those were the best, i wish i could see them in the archive.

yeah, the hate is driving me from that thread. it's getting more overtly hostile than i'm usually prepared to interact with. i might need to actually wish evan a happy birthday. he's grown on me now that he doesn't lick ryan's balls anymore.

i can't wait until june for this album. if it leaked, i'm listening.

[Matt Chylak]

I'm unhappy this leaked, but I did want to hear it. Wish the good folks at Sideonedummy would protect their albums better... or at least Gaslight's.

I'm gonna have to listen after class. I hope it lives up to my own hype!

it does
